eleven. no way.

Monday, November 03, 2008

I know. Pretty hard for me to believe, too. Halloween came and went. We had Rocky, Madeline, and a Purple Octopus in the house.And today, we counted to eleven. Over and over. Eleven balloons.Eleven flowers placed in a vase from pappy, that arrived in the hospital in 1997. Eleven years ago. And a very delicious, time consuming, cake. That held all the wishes of an eleven year old.

First timer here. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I always look forward to reading the special things you do with your family, lovingly and creatively.I wanted to send a Happy Birtday to Libby! May all your wishes come true.

Happy Birthday Libby! I never realized that our daughters are the same age - mine just turned 11 3 in mid-October. Now I understand why she liked the sweater you made for Libby (we used it as a basis to design her own sweater). Eleven is a big one!

Greetings from Ireland for the birthday girl and for mum. I love your blog it is very inspiring and your photos are magnificent. Many more happy years for Libby and thank you for sharing all your events with the blog community. The photo of your mum, your sisters and yourself recreated is so special. Margie.

What fun! Happy Birthday to your Libby!My Libby will turn 8 this winter- she's my oldest girl. I hope and pray that I can be an effective enough Mommy that when this brief time of raising her is over, she will go out from here a capable and confident young lady. I know you're doing the same for your Libby, and I have every confidence that you'll succeed.Keep up the great work, Mommy!
